SponDT (Spondylodiscitis Diagnosis and Treatment): spondylodiscitis scoring system.
Authors
Abstract
Spondylodiscitis is a chameleon among infectious diseases due to the lack of specific symptoms with which it is associated. It is nevertheless a serious infection, with 7% mortality of hospitalized patients, in large part because of delayed diagnosis. The aim of this study was to develop a diagnosis and course-of-disease index to optimize its treatment.
